Working with us

The key to any successful relationship is having good lines of communication. This is a simple enough principle, but it still takes effort to get it right. Our aim is to ensure that every client is provided with clear, accurate and timely information.

Clear – Moving house is complicated enough, so we want to stick to plain English.Accurate – Property values constantly move up and down, so we ensure that our valuations reflect the current state of the market.Timely – We ask for feedback and we let you know about it promptly. It’s called feedback for a reason.

Blackheath

Most people who have heard of the area of Blackheath in South London are also familiar with the story that the name is associated with the 1665 Plague or the Black Death of the mid-14th century. This is something of an urban myth though and the real origin of the name is much less gruesome.

Bow

What is the first thing you think of when someone mentions Bow? Is it Bow Bells and the home of the Cockney, or the (sometimes grisly) history of the area, or is it the Olympic legacy and widespread regeneration?

Canning Town

Deptford

Once known only as the area in which celebrated Elizabethan poet Christopher Marlowe met his premature end, and the site of the notorious, and possibly unnecessary, ‘slum’ clearances of the 1960s, modern-day Deptford has shrugged off its unsavoury past and is now thriving.

Greenwich

If it weren’t for the view of Canary Wharf, you could believe that Greenwich was in the middle of the countryside. Easy to get to via foot tunnel or DLR, Greenwich covered market is the perfect place to go present shopping or to sample some freshly cooked street food.

Hackney

Isle of Dogs

Referred to as ‘The Island’ by locals, framed by the Thames on three sides, and with a large City Farm in the middle, the Isle of Dogs is a fabulous mixture of docks, donkeys and ducks (but strangely not that many dogs).

Limehouse

The history of Limehouse is rich, varied and significant in many ways. The name ‘Limehouse’ finds its origins in the fourteenth century lime kilns built in the area which produced quick lime for building mortar.

Plaistow

Poplar

Until recently, Poplar was like Bow’s rather dull uncle; always on hand, but never likely to be the life and soul of the party. All that is changing though, and Poplar is enjoying something of a makeover, which should put the spring back into the step of this previously underrated area.

Rotherhithe

Opened in 1908 the Rotherhithe Tunnel is narrow and characterised by sharp bends. Once you’ve squeezed through the tunnel, riverside Rotherhithe houses some fantastic old pubs and converted warehouses. And the reason for the tunnel’s sharp bends? To prevent horses from bolting towards the daylight.

Royal Docks

If there was a remake of ‘Planes, Trains and Automobiles’ they could set it here. Plus, then it could have yachts and a cable car in it as well. Nowadays the home of London City Airport, Royal Docks has been all about transport since it was built in the late 19th century.

Victoria Park

Wapping

For a taste of Victorian London without the choking smog, Wapping is Sherlock Holmes meets Harry Potter, with a bit of Blackbeard’s Ghost thrown in. Alleyways, courtyards, arches and cobbles lend the area an exciting, spooky, ever-so-slightly magical feel.

Westferry

Working long hours doesn’t seem nearly so bad when you can walk home in 5 minutes. You can’t get much closer to Canary Wharf than Westferry, and the restaurants and cinema at West India Quay are right on your doorstep too.

Woolwich

Home to the Woolwich Ferry and the Woolwich foot tunnel; Woolwich used to be somewhere to pass through, rather than a destination in its own right. That is all set to change though, as a certain rail link will soon be connecting Woolwich directly with Heathrow, making Woolwich a very desirable place to live.
